There is a good chance Connecticut could get slammed with the most significant snowstorm of winter on Friday, forecasters say. The snow will begin between 5 and 9 a.m. on Friday and intensify as the day wears on.
As much as 20 inches could fall in the northeast corner of the state, forecasters say, with between 6 to 8 inches of a "wintry mix'' expected along the shore. But a lot depends on what track the still-forming storm takes, with the possibility that it could deal the state a glancing blow as it aims for Cape and the Maine coast.
